What Is an Arm Lift?

An arm lift, also known as brachioplasty, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the upper arms—stretching from the underarm to the elbow—to create a slimmer, more contoured appearance. Over time, factors such as weight fluctuations, aging, and genetics can lead to “bat wings” or sagging skin that exercises alone cannot correct. At pēkomd®, our board-certified surgeons tailor the procedure to your individual anatomy, often combining traditional excision with liposuction to achieve smoother, balanced results. The goal is to enhance your arm profile naturally, so you can enjoy improved comfort and a look that matches your active lifestyle.

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

After learning I had breast cancer a second time in 2023 I opted to have a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP flap reconstruction. I looked into 3 different doctors and while I am sure they are all very capable, I chose Dr. Markov. He was straight forward and to the point and he wa... Read More

Crescent Lift in Armpit

For patients with minimal to moderate excess tissue, a crescent lift in the armpit offers a less invasive alternative. In this technique, a small, crescent-shaped incision is made within the underarm crease, allowing for targeted removal of surplus skin without extensive scarring. This approach can yield subtle yet effective improvement, perfect for those seeking a refined arm profile with minimal downtime.

What to Expect During Your Arm Lift Procedure at pēkomd®

Your arm lift journey in Columbus begins with an in-depth consultation at our state-of-the-art facility. During this session, our board-certified surgeons will evaluate your upper arm anatomy, review your medical history, and discuss your personal aesthetic goals. Whether you require a full brachioplasty or a combination of procedures—including liposuction and a crescent lift—the treatment plan is uniquely tailored to your needs. On the day of surgery, you'll be welcomed into our accredited surgical center, where patient comfort is paramount. 

With general anesthesia ensuring a relaxed, pain-free experience, your surgeon will make discreet incisions—often hidden along the inner arm or within natural creases—to remove excess fat and skin. The remaining skin is then meticulously re-draped and sutured, resulting in a smoother, more contoured upper arm. Once the procedure is completed, you'll be taken to a monitored recovery area, where our team will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to support your healing process.

Recovering After Your Arm Lift Surgery

Recovery experiences can vary, but most patients in Columbus report mild to moderate swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the first week after an arm lift. Pain can typically be managed with prescribed medications, and wearing a compression garment may help minimize swelling and support the healing tissues. Light activities are generally resumed within one to two weeks, while strenuous exercises and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least four weeks or as advised by your surgeon. Regular follow-up visits ensure your healing is on track and allow adjustments to your post-operative care as needed, leading to a more refined arm contour over time.

Ready to embrace a more contoured, youthful look for your arms? Contact pēkomd® today to schedule your arm lift consultation in Columbus and take the next step toward renewed confidence.

Will I have visible scars after my arm lift?

While scarring is inevitable, our surgeons strategically place incisions in less visible areas, and scars typically fade over time with proper care.

How soon can I resume normal activities?

Most patients return to desk work within one to two weeks, but strenuous activities should be avoided for at least four weeks, according to your surgeon's guidelines.

Can an arm lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Many patients choose to combine an arm lift with procedures like a tummy tuck or breast lift for a more comprehensive body contouring result.

How long do the results last?

Results are generally long-lasting if you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. However, natural aging and weight fluctuations can gradually affect your appearance over time.
